pROM the bridge an ex- 
•■• cellent general view of 
the Exposition Grounds is 
had, with the California 
Building and Tower, in the 
immediate foreground. 

""The smaller view is from 
below and gives an idea 
of the massiveness of the 
structure, which is 135 feet in 
height, 1010 feet in length and 
of unit cantilever construction.

THE PRADO, 
A WEST FROM

ground and the 
Tower and Dome of 
the California Build-

showing also the 
arched passage to the 
Plaza de California, 
known as the Prado 
Gate. 





THE CLOISTERED ARCHWAY OF THE 
A CALIFORNIA QUADRANGLE, looking 
across the Plaza de California to the entrance 
of the Fine Arts Building. These arched cor- 
ridors are a pleasing feature of the exposition. 
There is a net work of them about the grounds, 
cormecting the principal buildings. They are 
bordered with flowers and the archways fes- 
tooned with vines, and as the walks are always 
cool and seats plentiful a siesta in them is a 
delightful memory.

THE GREAT ORGAN, as the out-of-doors pipe organ is frequently called, the gift of Joo [ 
Fair. Its sweet toned melody can be heard in all parts of the Grounds and the Daily 'tjc 
United States. It is out of doors, the audience remaining at all times under the dome of tt

HTHE PATIO OF THE NEW MEXICO BUILD- 
■*■ ING, which is a reproduction of the Franciscan 
Mission erected in 1 629 A. D. on the Rock at Acoma, 
in western New Mexico. It is the only ecclesias- 
tical structure which survived the Pueblo Rebellion 
of A. D. 1680. The reproduction of the Old Church 
has been done with such fidelity of detail, even to 
the log rafters and the quaint fireplaces and the 
chapel itself, that one feels the spell of the original; 
something of an involuntary veneration which is 
noted in the presence of things that are old. It 
is a very satisfactory Building. 

"pHE TOWERS AND ENTRANCE TO THE MISSION 
CHAPEL, used as a Lecture Room.

Wickiups, the same as one would find them 
on the Arizona reservations.

HPHE CANADIAN EX- 
* HIBIT shows convin- 
cingly the wonderful de- 
velopment and possibilities 
of Canada. The accuracy 
of the information given, 
the comprehensive scope 
of the displays, the mar- 
velous attention to detail 
and the effectiveness of 
results obtained, put this 
Exhibit in a class by itself. 
This picture includes only 
a portion of the interior.

esting.
